As an Indonesian, it's cool to know our local King Cobra's are considered a unique species now! Wooh!

[Dr Cormac Price @C_MrPrice]

It's always nice to find a "lifer" or new species for your list in your local area, not just far away places. For me it was my first encounter with this guy. Sundevall’s Shovel-snout (Prosymna sundevallii). It's also #ReptileAwarenessDay #conservationoptimism #SaveTheSnakes
